How to Support Addiction Recovery and Build Recovery-Friendly Communities This isn't a book about addiction - it's a book about recovery. Written for every loved one, community member, and recovery professional who wants to know how to help, Recovery Allies offers real-world solutions, evidence-based strategies, and, above all, hope for the 23 million Americans living in recovery from substance use disorder. This is the first to comprehensively approach our addiction crisis from a community perspective. You'll learn about: reducing the shame and stigma that can prevent folks in recovery from asking for help; the tools essential to addressing our addiction epidemic; how to apply public health strategies across all community sectors; the critical role of relationships and community support in achieving sobriety and maintaining recovery; and relapse prevention, harm reduction, and peer support.
